Wizard Palo took a step forward.
He stopped the intense murderous intent that suddenly erupted from Peter Lionel and Zoran Lucia.
The Serene Wizard even pulled Link back and directly protected him behind her.
Wizard Cody also took a step forward, standing alongside Wizard Palo.
No matter what the three wizards thought, at this moment, they must protect Link.
This was the person they brought here, the person promoted by Wizard Palo to speak, and who had spoken out from their standpoint.
If they did not protect him, or if they failed to protect him, their decades of hard-earned reputation, and their status of equal communication with pure blood and half-blood families, would become a laughingstock.
Nothing could be allowed to harm Link Grande here.
It was precisely because Link grasped this mentality that he dared to be arrogant and unruly.
“Palo, your man has crossed the line!”
Peter Lionel put away his sullen expression, remained calm, and his tone didn’t waver.
However, the more he did so, the more everyone around could feel the surging anger in his heart.
Zoran Lucia underwent the same kind of change.
Only his gaze didn’t rest on Wizard Palo, but on Link.
This cheeky fellow even dared to insult his family and the Storm Sea New Blood in front of him!
“Crossed the line? I don’t think so. I’m even upset that it’s not enough!”
Wizard Palo sneered coldly, showing an attitude of being ready to escalate the situation, “Want to vent? If you want to vent, come at me. I’m waiting here. What’s the point of attacking a young lad?”
“Hmph.”
Peter Lionel let out a grunt from his nostrils, furious but helpless, and sat down in frustration.
The other party was speaking the truth.
As a Tier 3 wizard and a being about to be promoted to Sage, he could arrange for someone to target, but couldn’t personally act against a mere first-year apprentice.
If word got out, it would become a great joke.
“You are Link Grande, right?”
Zoran Lucia didn’t give up so easily.
There was a hint of a vicious smile at the corner of his mouth as he said coldly:
“The young lad is indeed outstanding in many aspects, but it’s a pity that he has a tongue that doesn’t know when to stop, often offends people. Let me give you a piece of advice, young lad, speak less in the future to avoid offending people you shouldn’t, lest you don’t even know how you die.”
Is this advice?
This was a blatant threat.
Upon hearing this, Link didn’t show any fear.
You’re hell-bent on killing me and even planned to take action. Should I still fear offending you?
Are you saying that you’re trying to kill me and I can’t even retaliate verbally?
Can I only kneel?
Sorry, I have bad knees, I can’t kneel down!
While thinking, Link didn’t back down a step or give any face. He said indifferently:
“Don’t bother worrying about me. You should worry more about the qualities of your own family members. If they aren’t habitual thieves, they are easily beaten. You should be careful that your family has no successors.”
“Hmph!”
Zoran Lucia let out a sneer, “Big talk. You should worry about protecting your own life before you speak.”
He laughed coldly, “Be very careful not to be unknowingly killed by someone.”
Without Wizard Palo, Serene, and Cody shielding him, would Zoran have chosen to engage in a war of words?
He would have crushed this annoying fellow with a flick of his finger long ago.
Link turned up his nose and ceased his verbal provocation.
His goal had been achieved, and there was no need to go overboard.
The Serene Wizard glanced at Link, thinking to herself that this young fellow was playing his usual tricks again.
Clearly, he had run into trouble and couldn’t tell Palo directly to seek protection, which was why he had taken such a roundabout approach.
She decided to lend him a hand. After all, it was rare to come across a young lad that caught her eye.
With a slight parting of her lips, Serene Wizard said: “Palo, that’s enough, let’s go. There’s no point in staying any longer.”
“Alright.”
Wizard Palo didn’t refuse Serene Wizard’s suggestion and nodded in agreement.
He had come here today for two things.
One was to get the Percy Sage’s Diamond, and the other was to vent the frustration that had been pent up for over two months.
Both goals had now been achieved, so there was no reason to stay.
“Let’s go.”
Wizard Palo gave an instruction for Serene Wizard and Wizard Cody to take Link and leave first, while he covered their rear.
Hmm…
This was a clear expression of distrust towards the integrity of Peter Lionel and Zoran Lucia.
Peter and Zoran did nothing extra, only watching sternly as the four left.
From the moment the bet was laid, many things were already preordained.
No matter who won the bet,
Even if not now, even if in the more distant future,
Only one could survive between Peter Lionel and Wizard Palo.
Wizard Palo not only took the Percy Sage’s Diamond but also repeatedly ridiculed them openly, intensifying the conflict and hatred between the two.
Perhaps it even accelerated the day when they would determine their fates and decide life and death.
As for Zoran Lucia, he didn’t really care about Link Grande.
If he truly wanted to kill him, with a little effort and expense, it wouldn’t be difficult.
But he took in one of Link’s sentences.
His thoughts began to churn.
The young generation of the Lucia family, including Hawk Lucia, indeed lacked any standout geniuses.
Could it be that there were really no successors left?
The four successfully exited the private room, left the villa, and got on the hover car.
“Speak up, what happened during the Grand Competition that made you so desperate to completely offend the Lucia family, and rupture relations with that guy Zoran?”
